A Little at a Time Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Well, the lady said will this be cash and I thought boy if that′en ain't a laugh
Why I don′t carry money of that kind
Just put it on my charge account on account of I can't pay you now
I'll pay for it a little at a time

I′m just an average working girl trying to get along in this old world
Looking for that rich man I might find
But up ′til now the times are hard I'm living on my credit card
And paying for life a little at time

A little at a time that′s how I pay my bills
That's the story of the working girl
Always going overboard buying things I can′t afford
In this charge account credit card, pay for it a little at a time world


My weekly check don't amount to a lot, But I′m making payments on what I got
At the end of the month I ain't got one thin dime
And this old car I bought brand new but I'm still payin′ on it too
I′ve been payin' for it a little at a time

Got a new apartment I just moved in and I′ll do well to pay the rent
It's unfurnished so a bargain I must find
I saw a sign in a store downtown house goods for nothing down
Pay for it a little at a time

A little at a time that′s how I pay my bill
That's the story of the working girl
Always going overboard buying things I can′t afford
In this charge account credit card pay for it a little at a time world

I want to pay on my layaway here's a dollar on my mink collar
